Civil Immersion

30+ Civil 3D / AutoCAD Tips & Tricks in 30 minutes!

This week represented the fifth installment of our bi-weekly “30 min. Workout” webinar series.  The goal of these sessions is to demonstrate lesser known Civil 3D / AutoCAD / Map3D workflows.  Our hope is that each “workout” will be a valuable resource for users to explore concepts falling outside the scope of traditional training courses.

This week’s session featured a multitude of Civil 3D / AutoCAD tips and tricks.  In true “lightning round” fashion, more than thirty helpful features, system variables and keyboard shortcuts were demonstrated covering a wide array of topics.  If you are interested, I’ve added a link to the session recording below…

Pushing Common Commands to the Extreme using Civil 3D / AutoCAD

Today we start exploring some underutilized features of commands most users rely on every day.  The challenge that we are trying to overcome is the fact that, because the commands are very familiar to us, we tend to rely on only a small amount of what is possible. 

That begins changing now!

During today’s 30 min workout, we will focus on the following...

Undo – Building a time machine
SAVE – Typing it does something different
XCLIP – Improve performance (INDEXCTL)
Wildcards – Lots more than just *
MSLIDE / VSLIDE – Quick view

I even threw in some “Simple LISP” at the end when I showed how to create a custom command you can start using immediately.
